Here in the blog, you’ll find messages from my heart. Each time I sit down to write, my intention is to write something that someone else needs to hear and something my heart needs to say. I want to write something that will plant a seed and could potentially change the trajectory of someone’s life. It might not be yours today, but it may be tomorrow, so enjoy your time and come back soon.
When perfect doesn’t pay
I'll either be Tough Love or Captain Obvious here, but I'm here to say - You are not perfect. I'm not perfect. Your horse is not perfect. So why do we try to be perfect? Why do we try and make our horses perfect? Why do we enter the arena with the...
Why riders “shit the bed” in competition
You’ve probably had amazing rides or runs at home. We’re all masters of our own backyards and if there were ribbons for those amazing runs we’d have enough for a full blanket. But when you get to a competition you – “shit the bed”.
How To Deal With Mean Girls
We've all dealt with them and if we're being really honest, we've probably been a "mean girl" at some point too. Ouch. Yeah, you. Mean girls are the girls that talk behind our backs, say negative things about us (and maybe even our horse). They criticize and they make...
My bad experience with a great book
They say you get more of what you focus on. This summer I was reading the book Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. It's a really good book but I had to stow it away 3/4's read. The book and I, we're on a breather and I'm not sure when I'll be "brave enough" to pick it up...
When things get peopley – A powerful tip to protect your energy
As if it isn't "peopley" enough for my fellow empaths, the "peoples" tend to ramp up this time of year. Tis the season for frustrated shoppers in multiples brushing their icky vibes off on any feeler they can find down aisle 9. If you're an empath you probably don't...
Who do you think you are?
Damn funny. If you don't know me well, you wouldn't know how funny I am. I don't just go and sprinkle my funny just anywhere. I probably think I'm funnier than most do but that's ok. This is my favorite picture of the entire photo shoot (and I'm sorry Lisa for...
Get “The Law” On Your Side
Aside from putting the work in, there is something else you can add to your toolbox to help accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams. The Law of Attraction is one of the Universal laws that states we attract into our lives what we focus on. If you focus on all...
10 Day Love Yourself Challenge
If you don't love yourself, who will? Sorry, not sorry for the tough love! But we teach others how to treat us, based on how we treat ourselves. No, I don't mean go and buy yourself a bunch of expensive stuff and all your people will start buying you expensive...
Being the light and building Squiggles part 2
I feel like I could write a book on "building Squiggles". I've had this horse since she was born but it feels like we have packed half the chapters in just the last month since I wrote about her last. A lot of what happened between part 1 and 2 was really more about...
Building Squiggles
Part 1 This summer I've been riding and training a horse named Squiggles. She's 5 years old and one that I have raised and other than the first 40 days, have done all the work on. I was going to sell Squiggles when she was young because I didn't think I needed a horse...
